Explanation of how we are able to provide differentiated services to meet the individual needs of schools and districts.

istation’s assessment identifies and uses valid and reliable monthly formative assessments to screen, progress monitor, and diagnose student needs to target instruction effectively. The assessment also uses summative reading outcome measures to indicate how well students have learned or how well they have met performance standards. Linking assessment data to instruction, teachers are given instant online access to recommended teacher directed lessons specifically targeted to improve their students’ performance. Through the istation website, educators have 24/7 access to an extensive library of structured, research based lesson plans and quality, Lexile-leveled readers.

istation also offers research-based effective reading instruction which integrates subject-area content (science, social studies, etc.) with strategic reading skills. The five key reading areas are threaded carefully throughout with explicit, direct, and systematic instruction. Based on a student’s assessment results, the student automatically receives differentiated instruction through the istation program (PreK-5) while supporting literacy development through strategic intervention, motivation, text-based collaborative learning and writing. A student reading below grade level receives strategic interventions to remediate reading deficiencies and accelerate their literacy development, while a student reading at or above grade level receives challenging curriculum to advance their knowledge and reading abilities.
